The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the actual speed of the train given the relative speed between the train and the car when they are moving in opposite directions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Relative Speed:** When two objects are moving in opposite directions, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. \[ \text{Relative Speed} = \text{Speed of Train} + \text{Speed of Car} \] 2. **Identify Given Values:** - Relative Speed = 90 km/h - Speed of Car = 15 km/h 3. **Set Up the Equation:** Using the formula for relative speed, we can express the speed of the train (let's denote it as \( S_t \)): \[ S_t + 15 = 90 \] 4. **Solve for the Speed of the Train:** To find the speed of the train, we can rearrange the equation: \[ S_t = 90 - 15 \] \[ S_t = 75 \text{ km/h} \] 5. **Conclusion:** The actual speed of the train is 75 km/h.
